George Sisler-Carl Lundgren-Fielding Yost @ U Michigan - Share Your College Photos

[Jobu]

I have an album page from one of the University of Michigan players. Pictured are the baseball coach (1914-1920), the famous to this board Carl Lundgren, and football coach Fielding Yost, their famous football coach (1901-1926).

The pics show the players at the hotel in uniform, and out on the town at landmarks and hitting on some young ladies (captioned "A favorite sport").
Second from the left seated in the pic at the hotel with the uniforms on is George Sisler, who lettered at Michigan from 1913-1915.

The dates narrow the photos down to 1914-1915. Some are labeled, so I emailed the baseball staff to ask for the team schedules in those two years and they were kind enough to send them. They only played Vanderbilt in 1914, so that makes these 1914 photos.

Let's see some other players from their college days!

That Sisler is my favorite image of his we have ever handled. I have yet to see a better photograph of his even several years after it was sold!

Hi all,

This is an original photo from the kickoff of the University of Washington's first game of the 1922 season.

In their first game of the season, they faced off against a football team consisting of crew members from the U.S.S. Idaho battleship.

Prior to the 1922 football season, the UW football team was known as the Sun Dodgers and briefly as the Vikings. The name and mascot were changed to the Huskies after a contest in February 1922.

Being that this picture is from the kickoff of the 1922 season it is from the first moment that the UW football team ever took the field as the Huskies, the name in which they are recognized and known by to this day.

The school's football stadium was also only two years old at the time of the picture, having been completed in 1920 and was known as U of W stadium at that time. Thus making this the first photo of the stadium as "Husky Stadium."
